    Elden Ring is a game with a breathtaking universe, with crazy ambition. The effective gameplay coupled with the immense pleasure of exploration that is always rewarded are matched only by the fierce requirements of the game. More accessible than other FS productions, it offers the opportunity to discover a world of crazy elegance, with an artistic direction that is quite simply masterful. A generous world we no longer want to leave. An absolute masterpiece.

    Zelda Tears of the Kingdom is a masterpiece! Its unparalleled sense of travel, its generosity, its intelligent gameplay already make it a cult title, which will leave its mark on the video game industry. In this sequel to Breath of the Wild, there are no more limits to the imagination, simply the pleasure of discovering, of creating but also of living a dantesque adventure, an epic journey in which the new possibilities make you dizzy. One of the greatest games of all time.

    Astro Bot is an excellent, brilliant game, full of good ideas, innovation and magic. It's a love letter to PlayStation but also and above all to video games. Asobi's game knows how to renew itself at every moment and offer something fun and intelligent in its gameplay mechanics. Fun and colorful, it offers a generous and definitely unforgettable experience. The GOTY 24 is undoubtedly here!

    Shadow of the Tree is a real game in its own right, generous, powerful, with almost perfect execution. It manages to completely separate itself from Elden Ring, with an identity of its own and an extremely careful atmosphere. Despite a somewhat "light" ending and a slight imbalance in terms of bosses, we emerge from this adventure with a feeling of exhilaration specific to great journeys. Yet another monument to be added to the long list of From Software masterpieces, a delight of incredible violence, a definitely enchanting journey. Masterful!

    God of War Ragnarök is an absolute masterclass! Visually fantastically beautiful, it offers an adventure with a controlled, extremely generous, strong, human narration, with incredibly well-written characters, reversals of situations and dantesque fights with gameplay that is still just as nervous and even richer than that of the episode preceding it. The quality of Santa Monica's work is once again at the rendezvous with this pure video game masterpiece.

    We wondered if The Last of Us 2 would manage to surpass the giant The Last of Us. It’s done, no problem! Powerful, visceral, this follow-up highlights the talents of Naughty Dog who tell a strong, deeply human story with real meaning. Beyond masterful gameplay and the sublime universe of the game, the player is pushed into his entrenchments, facing himself, with rage in the belly, tears in the eyes and head upside down. Simply a masterpiece!

    Here we have the best remake of Resident Evil! Powerful and mastered to the end, this remake makes Capcom’s masterpiece even more monumental with magnified, new sequences, but also even more effective gameplay and a grandiose staging. The novelties of gameplay further nourish the survival aspect while the atmosphere becomes much more believable and terrifying than that of the original game. This remake is definitely one of the greatest survival horror games of all time. ABSOLUTE masterpiece.

    Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is a wonderful game for new and returning players alike! Its story remains faithful to the original and its characters are terribly endearing, we feel the love of the developers for this dense universe. It is not without its faults, however, and certain aspects remain too anchored in the past, just as a few too many lengths break the overall rhythm. However, the sense of journey and the incredible execution of the game make it an unforgettable and quite unusual title.

    Spider-Man 2 is a spectacular game. With deep gameplay and its duality between Miles and Peter it offers an experience that is undoubtedly the most incredible in terms of superhero video games. We will face a challenge that may be too tough sometimes, but the pleasure is simply enjoyable from start to finish. Between a dark and more mature story than the previous opus, and a totally crazy pace, Spider-Man 2 leaves us breathless.

    Ori and the Will of the Wisps is a poignant story and its gameplay is richer than that of its predecessor; it offers plenty of new features with an interesting RPG dimension. The world of Moon Studios is always as magical for the eye and the mind, and enchanting music brings the perfect final touch to this dazzling adventure. Nevertheless, the game suffers from real technical problems: frequent framerate drops and freezes prevent you from fully enjoying this journey. Aside from that, Ori and the Will of the Wisps is almost perfect.

    This PS5 version of The Last of Us Part 2 further enhances an already fantastic game, thanks to better technique, framerate and resolution, but also through more nervous sensations via the DulaSense. Let us add that the Lost levels and the comments offer a real immersion into the world of the game and will delight fans who are interested in the development of this masterpiece. The added Roguelike mode is rather nice without being a revolution, nevertheless, we cannot deny that this version is the ultimate version of the Naughty Dog title. Yes, it’s still an incredible masterpiece, period!

    Dead Space is a quality remake. It brings another dimension to the 2008 game by bringing in clever new ideas that produce an even more oppressive experience and controlled, more modern, more fluid gameplay. We also appreciate the new dialogues and the fact that we hear Isaac speak because it makes the story more believable, even more immersive. And then how beautiful! A real vision of horror as we like it.

    Ultimately, Forza Horizon 6 is an excellent game that lets you have fun without overthinking anything. There’s a huge amount to do solo, the multiplayer offers an almost limitless lifespan, and the energy carried by the Festival’s positive atmosphere genuinely feels good. While waiting for the PlayStation 5 version, expected later this year, we hope the Xbox and PC community will show up, because the game truly deserves it. The Japan of Forza Horizon 6 is waiting for you.

    Death Stranding 2 is a game of incredible grandeur. It follows in the footsteps of its predecessor while bringing enormous improvements to the quality of life of Sam Porter, and therefore of the players… Deliveries that aren’t always fun, hassles, long distances to cover… but all this to tell (extremely well) something so beautiful, so important. We love Death Stranding 2 terribly if we liked the first opus because it manages to make the ordinary extraordinary, by putting us in the shoes of this delivery man like no other, alongside complex and surprising characters, through such a dazzling universe… Because after all, what matters is the journey, right?

    Monster Hunter Rise is a good Monster Hunter combining all the good ingredients of the license with a nice novelty: the Filoptères. These offer verticality and true dynamism to the gameplay with new possibilities. Everything seems faster, from harvesting to moving thanks to the Chumsky. The sets, the atmosphere, also contributes greatly to the quality of the overall experience, and if it is not a sometimes-capricious camera and some quests that get a little repetitive, we cannot blame the Capcom title much.

    Final fantasy 7 Remake is a superb rereading of the 1997 game that it surpasses visually but also in terms of narration. Very respectful of the original material, it brings an impressive dimension with its gigantic decors, its new combat system and its even more endearing characters. Some sequences are a bit repetitive, but in the end it is an a timeless story that we are happy to rediscover in its best light. And even if it can’t be as cult as the original, it will permanently mark the spirits. I'm waiting for more!

    Final Fantasy 16 is a very good game, offering a touching and extremely well-told story. We feel that the story of Valisthéa and Clive and his friends is at the heart of the experience, much more than the gameplay. The latter is enjoyable thanks to the use of the powers of the Primordials and the fights with the creatures are visually incredible. Despite a very interventionist format and uninteresting side quests, FF 16 takes us on board and leaves us with a masterful journey.

    Saros offers an intense and highly addictive experience. Its world is impressive, its gameplay is exhilarating and the constant progression finally reduces frustration with each run. Furthermore, it boasts a well-told story, arguably more in-depth than Returnal's, which was already very well narrated. However, it's not without its flaws! Some bosses are less memorable than others, and some biomes are clearly less inspired than others... but it remains a brutal and extremely rewarding game.

We appreciate the freedom offered in the world that we take pleasure in discovering thanks to the use of the grapple. The progress of Spartan is satisfactory and the fights are nerve-wracking. However, the sets are not varied enough to travel completely and the activities are repetitive which makes the whole a bit redundant. But what is missing the most are great epic moments that could have made it an unforgettable Halo.

While remaining extremely faithful to the 2001 game, this 2024 version adds an incredible, even more oppressive atmosphere, real depth and a lot of freshness to James Sunderland's horrific adventure.

However, despite a neat atmosphere and a story that holds in breath, the game remains quite classic in its mechanics. In addition, some visual details are a bit old: the faces in particular are still sorely lacking in life even if an effort has been made on this side, not to mention perfectible AI… A good Assassin’s Creed but one which would have benefited by more risk-taking.

    n short, we find ourselves facing a real nightmare, in a neat universe where good ideas surf on reflection, perseverance and especially on a lot of pleasure. But who says pleasure also says frustration: sometimes, the difficulty is too full in the sense that the enemies too easily manage to catch you which can very quickly seriously annoy. Other small concerns of prospects can also spoil this pleasure at certain times and one could also add in the list of defects that some passages are too short and the or good ideas are not sufficiently exploited or deepened or on the contrary are repeated a little. Nevertheless Little Nightmares 2 offers a very neat universe, oppressing to the possible and its gameplay is very effective.

    Streets of Rage 4 is a very good game, perfect for fans of the series and lovers of old-fashioned fighting games. It respects the identity of the famous saga while modernizing it. Its universe, its music and its careful and demanding gameplay offer a delicious experience that marks the return in beauty of Street of Rage. Jackpot!

    Assassin's Creed Shadows is a very good game. It offers a generous journey through an absolutely sublime Japan, and the characters of Yasuke and Naoe offer rich gameplay, with true duality. The game doesn't revolutionize the formula, but it has the merit of being solid and keeping you on the edge of your seat until the end, without a single moment of boredom.

    Dragon Ball Sparking Zero is undoubtedly the Ultimate Dragon Ball game! With its game modes dedicated to creation and its deep and nervous gameplay not to mention a monumental roster, it is the worthy successor to Budokai Tenkaichi. We could regret that the Story mode is more of a summary focusing only on the highlights, but this mode remains incredibly rich, offering different points of view through the main fighters of the Dragon Ball universe. And even if some bugs can frustrate during combat, the overall experience remains enjoyable! In short, the best Dragon Ball game is here!

    Borderlands 3 offers a generous experience, with colourful characters, neat gameplay and a charming universe. Its formula, very close to that of the previous episodes does not revolutionize the show but its small new features bring a little freshness and the scenario makes us want to go to the end of the adventure. Its dynamism and nervousness make it a choice piece for adrenaline-ready FPS lovers and license fans.

    Stellar Blade is a good game. It’s not unforgettable but what it does it does well! Its gameplay is neat, with an in-depth combat system and the encounters with the bosses are intense, probably a little too much in the last part of the game because they are poorly balanced in terms of difficulty. In addition, it is visually very impressive and offers an extremely attractive universe that we enjoy exploring, even if its story is classic. A very demanding Soul’s Like experience, in which we take pleasure in suffering.

    Hellblade 2 is truly magnificent, superbly produced, it offers a distressing atmosphere as possible, extremely careful and rarely has the sound design of a game been so impressive. In addition, Melina Juergens' performance is particularly notable and we want to follow Senua's journey. The problem is that overall it's quite boring: the fault of the repetitive puzzles and the long and completely useless fights which weigh down the whole thing. It's sad.

    Gears Tactics is a very good mix OF action and strategy: we find the DNA and atmosphere of the Gears series and the quality of XCOM with all the strategic dimension that goes with it. The system of progression of soldiers is very satisfying and the story, even if it remains classic, makes you want to go to the end, with very beautiful cinematics of which it is full. A very nice surprise.

    After a multiplayer-centric episode, the COD fans will be delight with the return of a nervous and strong solo campaign. Modern Warfare is back with old-fashioned gameplay that is more grounded and efficient. The generous amount of content adds some depth to one of the best chapters of the saga to date. Magic!

    Kunitsu Gami is a very good surprise! The complexity of its gameplay is really effective, addictive, intelligent and the progression is really satisfying, despite the repetitive side. The strategic dimension with the profession system is one of the great qualities of the game. In addition, the artistic direction of the game is magnificent, everything is extremely careful. In short, well done Capcom.

    REANIMAL feels like a natural, brilliant evolution of the Tarsier formula: more mature, more surprising, more layered, with co-op that’s genuinely well thought-out and an atmosphere that gets under your skin. A gorgeous nightmare, unsettling… and brutally effective, even if there’s that slight “been there, done that” vibe that’s starting to weigh on it. Has Tarsier maybe reached the end of what this recipe can offer?

    Lies of P is a very good souls-like and it is undoubtedly the game of this type that comes closest to From Software perfection. Its demanding and racy gameplay offers an experience where extreme precision and patience will be your best allies. It’s a shame that the city of Krat, extremely elegant, offers a playing field with a somewhat flat level design. Beyond that, this rewrite of Pinocchio is absolutely terrible.

    Paper Mario: The Origami King is an adorable adventure, a breath of fresh rhythm on Nintendo Switch. The artistic direction, the well thought-out fighting system, the puzzles that require a reading of the environment and the atmosphere through the many sets make this game a real fun video candy-filled with humor and secrets, and very good experience.

    Techland proves once again that they're doing a great job, and this standalone, which could almost be called Dying Light 3, does the saga proud. It's just a shame that the difficulty ruins the fun a bit at times... But in the end? The best Dying Light to date. A real beast.

    The Quarry is a very good narrative horror game in the vein of Scream but above all it is the worthy successor to Until Dawn. With proven mechanics and a terrific atmosphere, it offers an experience that works very well, alone or with friends. It nevertheless suffers from the same faults as its predecessors with somewhat floating movements and sudden changes in camera angles, not to mention a few lengths in the dialogues. Anyway, it offers a very good 80s horror moment and we love it.

    The remake of Resident Evil 3 imposes a real rhythm and will keep your blood pressure monitor to the maximum throughout the adventure. If the episode from 1999 was already much more action-oriented than its predecessors, here we go even further... The game offers an intense horrific experience; however, it is really very short, it lacks a big part of the original game, and the puzzles that make the DNA of the saga are rare or even completely absent. Besides, there are no real surprises or even bad ones... Beyond the visuals that dazzle the eyes and a Nemesis at the top of its form, we would have appreciated more risk-taking. It's a good survival horror game, but it won’t gain a cult following like the original did.

    Mafia definitive Edition is a good remake. Visually, the game is sublime and the few small additions, especially concerning the driving are appreciable. If this 2020 version suffers from a lot of technical problems and cannot completely hide that the original game is 18 years old, the quality of writing and the mafia atmosphere offer a great moment of immersion in the underworld.

    Yes, the title from Ubisoft is full of qualities, full of energy, full of color and it offers beautiful sensations to seasoned players and others thanks to many options of accessibility. The sense of travel (and speed) and freedom are at the RDV! Too bad that some problems of management of physics and a scenario a little pretext a little spoils the superb panoramas.

    Avowed is a good game. It’s a great adventure that pleasantly surprised me! The story is engaging, the fights dynamic and they offer a real freedom since the player will not be locked in a specific style and can use skills through all classes offered, without counting those of his companions. One of the great qualities of the title is also the exploration, at the heart of the experience, and we take a crazy pleasure to explore the magnificent scenery, to discover its every mystery. Dungeons, cities, desert expanses, I loved the different atmospheres and its universe particularly neat. Bravo Obsidian!

    Cronos The New Dawn is a pure Survival Horror that will test even the most seasoned players. It offers a full-bodied and terrifying experience, at the heart of a particularly well-crafted universe, as Bloober Team knows so well how to do, inspired here by the best horror games like Resident Evil 2 for example, but with a slower pace, perhaps too much, but that's the style. A perfect game for lovers of absolute stress, where managing situations but also your inventory and ammunition will be your biggest problem!

    Immortals Fenyx Rising does not manage to have the superb gameplay of Assassin’s Creed and the magic of a Zelda: it is in between. Its gameplay is effective, and its puzzles very well thought out and with its humor and its enchanting universe to the charming artistic direction it manages to retain the player but it misses this little something to make a great game that we will not forget because it lacks depth.

    Black Myth Wukong is an imperfect but captivating masterpiece. It offers lively and brutal gameplay, which takes you to the guts despite some somewhat messy fights, but its greatest quality is its grandiose staging.

    Assassin's Creed Mirage is a very good game, a pure Assassin's Creed, according to the rules of the art! More concise, sober and effective in its gameplay, leaving aside the RPG dimension which could make previous games indigestible, it offers a 100% infiltration experience based on the fundamentals of the series: infiltration, parkour and assassination. The story, well told, in the delicious atmosphere of a coherent and sublime Baghdad will captivate all fans of the cult series which marks a real winning return.

    Dying Light 2 is a great game. Its greatest quality is its generosity, whether in the gameplay but also in the heart of its vast open world. I found it entertaining to the highest degree and intelligent with respect to its mechanics, especially with regard to the Parkour. The characters are all credible and we don’t let them down to the end. The ultra satisfying progression system, the craftsmanship, and the possibilities offered by paragliding and grappling make Techland’s game a very complete experience.

    Star Wars Outlaws is a very good game with a neat, generous open world and extremely faithful to the Star Wars saga. The atmosphere is fantastic and we really find the atmosphere of the first films. The Uncharted-style sequences are really great to play and even if the infiltration moments end up being repetitive, certain parts will be unforgettable for fans of the saga, if only because we cross cult places. In addition, the reputation system reinforces the feeling of leading a real scoundrel's life, with real freedom and real consequences... The best Star Wars game I have ever played.

    Lords of the Fallen is a good souls-like but it doesn't do everything right! Its neat universe with strong artistic direction and its fine level design do not completely save the whole thing! The bosses are not striking, even too predictable, and the levels full of trash mobs, often recycled, get boring very quickly because we are drowned in enemies, which increases the difficulty but not very intelligently. Too bad, the game is generally good.

    Ghostwire Tokyo is not a bad game but it sounds hollow when we put down the controller after the few 10h of game he offers. His Tokyo is very beautiful and wonderfully transcribed, the power-based gameplay is effective, but it lacks possibilities and we repeat all the time the same thing and the same actions which makes the overall adventure redundant. In addition, it doesn’t tell much... Too bad, because the theme and the atmosphere are there!

    Crisol: Theater of Idols has real personality. Its art direction and atmosphere land, and its core mechanic creates near-constant tension. When it focuses on exploration and puzzles, it shines, but it stumbles with overly long chases, repeated spaces, and a few technical or feel issues. Even so, it’s a strong pick for fans of systems-driven survival horror and exploration, if you can accept some padding and imperfections.

    Dead Island 2 is not a revolution of the genre but it is damn effective! The good gore based on very precise dismemberment, the good ideas related to the effects, the character progression and the variety of the zombies provide a nervous and effective gameplay. If the scenario is simple as hello it follows with joy thanks to a great atmosphere, rhythmic missions and well-written dialogues. The fun music that contrasts sharply with the apocalyptic context and some very crazy situations make it a really good game. It's perhaps a little too linear and it's still classic, but we're having a lot of fun with it and that's what we like in this kind of game.
